Since I've just moved into my new place, I haven't had time to devote to a garden....so I have chosen an easy alternative...but one that is most useful!

I chose to focus on a few herbs and some pepper plants this year, and I'm doing so with a "container garden". I'm sorry to say my pepper plants (that I have always had great success with) aren't doing so well at producing. The plants themselves are healthy and growing, but they just won't produce! However, my herbs are really thriving, and I've enjoyed using them in some favorite dishes this summer!

Thanks for joining me again on my trip through quaint little towns of Tennessee.

Today, I'm going to focus on a little town called Bell Buckle.

It has such qualities of a "Mayberry" type town that you think you'll see Barney Fife running across the road and into the drugstore! LOL And...I happen to be blessed by living just a short distance from this small, Middle Tennessee town.

Ok, I said I wasn't going to do this...you know, the disappearing act...Ha! But I did. Eeeek! Things got crazy busy in the spring getting ready for state testing...only to have it called off ( Yes! I said CALLED OFF...as in NONE...which is a FIRST...and after all the time we put into computer skills so they could drag/drop, toggle between two articles, highlight, etc. because they were expected to do it on the computer, AND the program crashed every practice day!)

Then, all of my energy had to go into MOVING....not just my regular move of furniture in my classroom, at the end of the year, but MOVING homes again! My year's lease was up on June 1, and I chose not to renew it. The stairs in my townhouse were taking it's toll on my knees! Also, my Emmy Rose needed a yard. So the moving began again! Now Emmy has a wonderful yard (which will soon be fenced) and I have a garage again...and a covered patio!
